Written by Edward G. Thompson, this article reflects on more than six decades in the gold mining industry and the evolution of gold price cycles. Beginning in the fixed-price era of the 1950s, Thompson traces how inflation, financial crises, and geopolitical shifts reshaped gold’s role across multiple market regimes.
